The Prince's story

Finding out pt2

BRANCH'S POV

I sprinted faster than I ever had to my room I did not realize that I had scratched my knee and it was now bleeding. I arrived at my room.

'What to do? What to do? What to do?'

I shoved all her invitations carefully into a bag and placed them in my safe room. I put up decorations where the space now was. After making the spot look less suspicious...

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Branch are you in there? Branchhh! BrancHhH!

I was now freaking out about if she would remember that the curtains were where the decorations are now kept. I could have time to think about that so I shyly crept up to the door and answered.

"Uhm yeah?" I looked up at Poppy as I came out of my bunker.

"First of all is your knee bleeding?" she asked as I looked down to see blood gushing down from my knee. Before I could reply, Poppy grabbed me by the hand and rushed me to my bedroom. A faint blush appeared on my cheeks as she held me. It was something I hadn't felt in a long time.

"H-here uhm there we go," Poppy said as she was done while trying to break the silence between us.

"Uhm thank Pops," I replied.

"W-why did you call me Pops? I thought that was what you called me when we were together. Don't you still hate me for going home with my dad after what he said to you?" Poppy said lowering her head as she was ashamed.

"I'll never hate you and don't worry about what your dad said to me. I forgive him and I'm sorry for getting mad at you. Also is it okay if we start afresh?" I asked with a little sound of hope in my voice.

"Sure," Poppy replied then gave me a big, bone-crushing, teddy bear hug. I missed her hugs but I was running out of air slowly.

"A-air he air please- let me breathe- ah" I pleaded for air until she finally let me go. "Thanks, Pops."

I and Poppy stayed down in the bunker and chatted in my room all day long. We laughed about many things and enjoyed our days with snacks and juices. After a long day, Poppy finally decided that we should sleep. She had maybe.. no she strongly suggested that she lies on top of me. It was really weird at first but then we got comfortable and slept off.

The next day (cuz like yar)

Branch woke up due to the beautiful yet long and annoying sounds of laughter. I sat up groggily and looked around the room only to find out Poppy had found my.. I mean her invitations that I had hidden.

" Uhh Poppy what are you doing with uh all my.. well I mean your invitations that you gave to me?" I asked curiously.

"First of all, Good morning and second of all John Dory randomly walked into the room at 4:00am and woke me up to give me these. He said he found it for a good reason. By the way it is 6:00am and you missed your morning swim but that's fine because I need you to come with me back to TrollsTopia to talk to my dad about something." Poppy said that all too fast but I still managed to process that.
